✯EVER THE STORY--BOOK 1✯

✯INTRODUCTION✯

Okay, so this book isn't perfect, lemme just go ahead and say that. I know it's not, and I will gladly look forward to constructive criticism.

This is the first book I've ever fully completed, so I'm proud of that, I'll admit, but I know it's not perfect.

I'll only say this once, I don't own Harry Potter or any of the characters and plot lines that you recognize. I probably won't get everything word for word correctly, but what fun is reading something you already read once?

This book doesn't focus on Harry, Hermione, and Ron, as Everly, the MC, isn't a part of the golden trio. She's friends with them and gets sucked into the things they do, but she isn't always with them.

Some things have changed to fit into the plot correctly, and I hope those changes make sense. Also, Draco has an older brother because I thought of some cool ways to flesh out Draco's character that way, especially in later books.

Anyway, I'm aware that the face claims don't look eleven, but if you could just imagine them at around that age, about what they'd look like, than that's what I've always imagined when writing these characters. Of course, you don't have to imagine them that way, but you can if you want.

Also, Everly generally hangs out with the Gryffindors. Most of her friends are in that house, but her friendships with the Hufflepuffs will get built up. I thought about putting her in Gryffindor, but her personality just doesn't fit in with that group, not completely at least. I also thought it would be cool to have a Hufflepuff lead, especially with characters like Newt Schmander proving that Hufflepuffs can kick ass(even though I, myself, am a proud Slytherin)

One last thing, I swear. So, this book is short, like really short. That's mostly because this would be the shortest book in the series, like the first book in the actual series, so I just wanted to let you know that the others will be longer.

With all that said, please enjoy.
